The Chachapoya civilization, also called the “Warriors of the Clouds”, was a culture of the Andes living in the cloud forests of the southern part of the Department of Amazonas of present-day Peru. Predating the Inca by over six centuries, Chachapoya culture flourished from around AD 800 in Peru?s remote northern highlands. The population, which may have numbered 500,000 at its peak, produced powerful shaman and engendered a tough-fighting ethos. The Inca Empire conquered their civilization shortly before the Spanish conquest in the 16th century. Chachapoyas left behind impressive ruins that echo their prowess in engineering and architecture.
